Reviews

[Lenore · Rating 3 out of 5]

The second chapter of Naranjo's somewhat esoteric treatment of meditation lays out intriguing schemas of the space of all possible meditative practices. On the whole, I found the book hard to get through, reaching only the arcane chapter on body awareness. But I would like to finish reading it at some point.
